Nothing much happening around here except trying to recover from a sinus infection and a cold--sinus for John and cold for me.  It seems like all we have done for the last three days is blow our noses and restock on tissues.  The antibiotic that John got from the doctor last week has helped a little, but he is still suffering from a stuffy head and slight headache.  He was hoping the medicine would clear up his head before seeing the surgeon on Wednesday.  John is still hesitant to do anything until his sinus clears up.

On the bright side, our weather has been sunny with above freezing highs during the day.  Our gravel road is just about completely clear of snow--only one little section of ice due to pine trees shading the road.  Our driveway is clear from the house to the road, but the loop around the house is still clogged with deep drifts.  John still can't get to his truck or four wheeler.  The snow has dropped enough that we can see the outline of the pond on the west side of the big shop.

This afternoon we decided to get out of the house and visited son John and his family.  He is the track coach at the high school and with the track season underway, is pretty busy now.  Their first meet is this Tuesday (indoors at the college) so we hope to go and watch our grand daughter, Jenni, run the mile and half mile.  While at John's, he downloaded some movies on my laptop, so now we have something new to watch in the evenings.  Right now its been wall to wall basketball.  March Madness is John's favorite season of the year.

You can just see one of the bushes beside the walkway

starting to peek out of the drift.  This is one way

we can tell how much the snow has gone down.

 

Driveway is drying up very nicely.  Just a little more

melting and the snow melt will run away from the drive

 

Much easier for John to get to the woodshed and outdoor

furnace.  Seems so strange to see the grass
